Final Solution [originally by Pere Ubu]

[Scrotemeister]

Sucks rhino dick. A great song fucked. Should've left it alone guys.

[elrick80]

I like the Peter Murphy cover a lot, but this one ain't bad at all. On the contrary.

[boogster123321]

god this is awful

[MrSKINFLICK]

@boogster123321: There are even two awful live version by Pere Ubu themselves here - and in all of them (including this one here) they obviously forgot that it is not exactly a rock´n´roll song + all forgot to switch on the synthesizer or the tapes....Final Solution without the original electronics IS impossible !

[cpdaddy7]

actually not bad, and i'm a pere ubu fan. egos are kept in check and the tvotr guys do a great job with the crooning on the outro

[maupracaray]

Peter is Jimmy Swaggart and David is Peter, the apostle.

[beautydaddy]

Shitty re-do..PERE UBU IS THE ONE AND ONLY!

[nikjagger]

THIS SUCKS SORRY

[deanbros2000]

Peter Murphy's studio version was the best. Ubu was good for the arangemet though.

[deanbros2000]

Nice... too bad Peter Murphy looks like Neil Diamond... sureal.

[13crapa]

they need 3 voices to be good as th original...

[PROJECTOAZULjjgg]

this is music!...this band is one of the best ones from the 80´s, i think they were presented by a label (a great label at the time...Rough Trade)...is a great song!...I love the 80´s/90´s...i come from there as well...the best music ever done...not like today when music is just business, and fame and pretty people, lol...

[MannyMiles]

Pere Ubu is one of those bands that musicians love, but most non musicians don't. Trent Reznor, Peter Murphy, and Frank Black like Ubu, but your Pixies and Bauhaus fans don't. thanks for sharing this video.

[MonteQuz]

GÓWNO

in english: SHIT

[Arrghhville]

I find this version meh.

[albatros777]

Who is the third singer?

[silver9mm]

look how much peter murphy GIVES A SHIT about you complainers. Oh yeah right not at all.. You fucking whiners should be coming in your shorts to see these two playing together. How much fucking fun they're having... No, gotta please the fucking masses. You guys are stupid.

[Scrotemeister]

Great song totally fucked by this bunch of dickwipes.

[lnadjsml]

This sucks.

[brilliantwatson]

Umberto and Balsam, er Balkan.Where's the talkum.What is a buleemic abortion anyway and whats it got to do with the nutty boys?

[SSSerriform]

I saw Bauhaus do a pretty badass version around the same time as this. Not sure what went wrong here.

[HurdyGurdyPolo]

I don't understand how I like Bauhaus, I like TV on the Radio, and I love this song by Pere Ubu, yet I hate this cover.

[PoserExposer]

this blows

[paretsky]

weird how imho such an amazing original can come over so FLAT and BORING in this cover version... there is more menace in a bowl of vegetarian jelly!

[beautydaddy]

Gen-Y, watered down version of a classic..typical crap!

[oshinkoboy]

Wow, a comedy version. Great job, kiddies.

[messagefrommadman]

I heard the original on Norwegian radio some days ago. I actually thought it was the swedish band "bob hund" that had the original. check out : Bob hund Et fall och en løsning"

[thanatogenous]

It's a pere ubu song.

[ghlysptwld]

yea I saw it.. and I only know broken swedish but when I wrote them.. then seemed to be shocked.. cuz alot of sweden (as america ) has no clue of PERE UBU) nope .. it's american. pere Ubu.. are super grand..

[annoianoid]

murphy? the guy in shades? who is he?

[zgoga74]

strasznie mało pere ubu na ytube szkoda

[DPTG23]

oh christ no not pete murphy, ruining a really good song...

[fudgebadger77]

This would've been better if Reznor had done all the vocals.

[marimbasback]

It takes gut evenn to do a cover of this giant song good job

[caudillo1]

Sorry guys, but I think it sounds ok. Of course, it doesn't compare to the original Pere Ubu version, but what does? ALL HAIL THE FREAKS!

[DerBestrafer]

Very, very nice cover !

[VaNIN27]

son gigantes de la música

[kiely]

pretty bad version of a perfectly good Rocket From The Tombs song

[Bydand22]

Used to like Living Color's version of this. Was great.

[vieveatron]

more interesting just as a little collaborative oddity. my problem is that the reason i like any of these acts on their own is for somewhat disparate reasons. still hard to top the original version, but i think i'd like to see it done by just tv on the radio. don't get me wrong- i have much fondness and respect for the work of peter murphy and trent reznor, but it's sad to see them as bloated, jaded old dudes in relation to tvotr in this one.

[bastedafternoon]

actually, this song was originally performed by rocket from the tombs, the pre-ubu/dead boys band. not to get pedantic or nuthin, but im just sayin

[chiggz]

I wouldnt even bother with Beuty Bastedafternoon, hes posted ignorant comments about Nin an Peter in just about every one of these compilations/posts. He knows NOTHING about music or music's history...

[ultramouse]

true, and not pedantic. pedantic would be me saying it was written by David Thomas and Peter Laughner, the Ubu half of RFTT so maybe it IS an Ubu tune heh...

but what really matters is that murphy is WRECKING this song. The guy from TVOTR sounds really good though, like he means it. murphy seems a little old-and-busted.

[menyc]

@bastedafternoon Wow, didn't know this. Thanks for the info. I love learning something new.

[beautydad]

Shitty cover of a good song by even better band (PERE UBU)....Murphy was always overated.

[gramikka]

Your opinion is duely noted.

When it's of any consequence, I'll be sure to let you know.

[beautydad]

When you learn to spell, you may be able to formulate a better a better opinion, gramikka and, aquire some taste.

[fifthera]

wtf is this appling abortion??

Ubu uber alles.

[tiagoacteixeira]

Peter Murphy is a genius

[loyalqueen]
